Career Day and Alumni Expo at the Rákóczi College
Career Day and Alumni Expo were held at the Ferenc Rakoczi II Transcarpathian Hungarian College of Higher Education on 17 April.
The purpose of the event was to facilitate job searching with interesting presentations on the labor market and to enhance the culture of job placement.
The attendees were welcomed by Krisztina Molnár, head of the Fodó Sándor Cultural Center of the Rákóczi College.
She was followed by Gergely Trieb, Consul of the Consulate General of Hungary in Beregszász, who also conveyed the greetings of József Bacskai, Consul General of the Consulate General of Hungary in Ungvár, and István Gyebnár, temporary chargé d’affaires of the Consulate of Hungary in Beregszász. He emphasized: “The news of war is all around us, there is unrest in the world. In this difficult situation, it is refreshing to participate in a program or project where peace, solidarity, and building the future take a leading role.”
“Today, those who have already chosen a career meet with those who are still facing this task. Today, we recall the words of Sándor Reményik: “We leave, but our soul remains here, quietly surrounding the walls. We leave – and while we are away, this city will be where we are.” Today, we witness the realization of this,”
– said Ildikó Orosz, president of the Rákóczi College.
István Csernicskó, the rector of our college, added that the institution is currently undergoing accreditation, where the question arose whether the institution maintains connections with alumni who have completed their studies and employers where former students are employed, and whether the college assists current students in choosing a career path.
“I am proud to say that today is about this. This event is not only important for us to meet but also to inspire those about to graduate on how to proceed,”
he added, thanking Zsuzsanna Buda, head of the Career Tracking Department at Rákóczi College, for the high quality of the event.
After the welcoming speeches, János Varga, Johanna Varga and Szilveszter Ferku, students of the college, performed the song “Ki szívét osztja szét” by Kormorán.
After the opening ceremony, various presentations were held. Krisztián Ábrány presented on “The key to a successful future: career planning in the 21st century.” She was followed by Éva Csopák, who discussed the world of influencers. Eugénia Madár provided a life path presentation. Afterwards, Viktória Lánczi gave a presentation entitled “Family or Career?” She was followed by Erika Pavljuk (Varcaba), whose career was presented. The last speaker of the day was Emőke Berghauer-Olasz, who gave a presentation on “I am an introvert, I want a good job”.
During the presentations, former students of the Rákóczi College introduced their successful products and services. We could taste delicious desserts offered by Vanessza Balogh Kerek and Ildikó Puskás. We could see the flower arrangements of Kitti Tóth (Bihari), the yarn dolls of Andrea Molnár, the textile dolls of Viktória Papp (ArtTory handmade), the wonderful accessories of Ilona Ködöböcz-Gerzsenyi, the embroidered dresses of Katalin Szedlák and György Barna. We could choose from the range of Donum 4U gift shop, presented by owner György Lengyel. We could get acquainted with the pearl jewelry of Irénke Derceni-Lévai and Diána Biró and the paintings of Dóra Nagy. We were able to admire the fashion designer show of the Egán Ede Vocational Training Center in Tiszapéterfalva.
The programme was supported by the Government of Hungary, the State Secretariat for National Policy of the Prime Minister’s Office with the involvement of Bethlen Gábor Fund Management Ltd.
